Essentially, third party publishers need to release their games to the PS3, XBox 360 and PC to get the sales to justify the high development costs of these games. While developers will continue to support the HD consoles until the next generation platforms are well established, if the Wii U and Next XBox have similar enough performance and developers can target the PC at the same time within 12 to 18 months developers may be able to target 50+ Million gamers on next-generation consoles; and with the userbase of current generation consoles falling, developers would rapidly be moving away from these platforms. |
let's say that these developers do move away from the hd consoles
ps3 will still have the Vita keeping it alive for A LONG time because soon many PSVita games will be shared with ps3 with that cross platform play thing or whatever it's called
AND
the Wii U technology wont be that much bigger than ps3's. you can even see that all Wii U will be getting are ps3 and 360 games/slightly upgraded ports so when the new generation kicks this 1 out the door ps3 could also still be filled with life because it wouldn't take much time to make a Wii U game for the ps3 :)
ps3 isn't going anywhere anytime soon next gen ;)
